Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
  • Whether adequate ecological information has been provided to determine the effect of the proposal on protected sites
  • If the proposal is inappropriate development whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development

What decided it

The proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt that fails to meet the exceptions in Framework paragraph 149, and the absence of adequate ecological information prevents demonstration of compliance with environmental protection policies, with the identified harms not clearly outweighed by other considerations.

Framework references: 149

Plan policies cited: Policy R1, Policy STRAT 9, Policy STRAT9, Policy DM19, Policy ENV4, Policy DM44
